Dugan Reassigned To Amherst

The Saint John Sea Dogs continue to shake up their goaltending.

The team announced this morning that they have reassigned netminder Bobby Dugan to the Maritime Junior A Hockey League’s Amherst Ramblers.

The 17-year-old played in three games with the Sea Dogs this season, posting a 1-1 record to go along with a 3.35 goals against average and .892 save percentage.  He spent most of his time rotating with Blade Mann-Dixon as Sebastien Auger’s backup.

Dugan, a native of Seminole, Florida, made the Sea Dogs after attending training camp as a free agent.

It’s been an eventful week for Sea Dogs goaltending. Mann-Dixon was returned to the MHL’s Valley Wildcats and the team brought in OJHL netminder Alex Bishop to replace him. Bishop was the Sea Dogs’ backup ‘tender on Friday night and Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Dugan joins a Ramblers team that is last in the Eastlink Division with a 5-15-2-0 record. Their next game is this Saturday against the 1-23-0-1 St. Stephen County Aces at Amherst Stadium.
